Key Points

- Melt and pour soap is beginner-friendly, quick to make, and safe for children to participate in, though it lacks full customization and is prone to glycerin dew.
- Hot process soap speeds up saponification and can be used quickly, but its thick texture and rustic appearance may limit certain design techniques.
